hello, can someone assist me to locate my App Store, my kids like to download games on my phone, and I put a pass code on my screen time and unlocked it now but it’s not showing up like it always has? Did I do something wrong??

Hard to say if we don't know what you did exactly. Putting a passcode on Screen Time does not have any thing to do with the App Store.
If you disabled the "Installing Apps" in Screen Time that can hide the App Store.
Check Screen Time ➜ Content & Privacy Restrictions ➜ iTunes & App Store Purchases ➜ Installing Apps and make sure its set to Allow.
Then you can look for it on your Home Screens or using the App Library.

Easiest way - at least for me - is swipe to the last home page screen. (The App library)
It lists all apps on your device.
Rather than play “Where’s Waldo?” with the non-adjustable folder structure, simply type “app” in the search bar at the top.
THEN … you can drag the icon back to the page / folder you desire.
If it appears in Settings, then it should now be available in a home screen or in the App Library as mentioned above.
See the link a provided in my previous post to try to find it form the App Library, then you can drag back onto a Home Screen.

Thank you so much Phil0124 I turned off the “share across devices” my App Store appeared, thank you all for your help very much appreciated, cheers
Then something else may be blocking it.
Do you have any parental apps, VPNs or corporate / school Exchange email accounts installed on your device?
Thank you, I have allowed both iTunes and App stores purchases and practically allowed everything on my iPhone but it’s still not appeared on my Home Screen, the App Store icon is in my setting but I can’t seem to get it to show on my Home Screen I don’t know what else to do but to reset the iPhone once I transfer all contents to my laptop.
I don’t have parental apps, VPNs or corporate/school exchange email accounts installed on my phone it must be games I deleted all their games but now I can’t find my App Store icon after removing the screen time password and allowing most of everything in my settings
Thank you I have tried that but it’s not appearing on my library app listing only in settings
That’s what I’m thinking, my kids must have turned something on that I really don’t know about and now I’m trying to figure it all out..
You're welcome. Glad it worked out.
